I do a Happy Dance when Stampin’ Up! releases a bundle that includes masks. They generate such great images with a minimum of effort, and if you’ve followed me for any time at all you know I love a minimum of effort! I pulled out the Painted Pumpkins bundle to play with the masks again

• Stamps: Painted Pumpkins, Sweet Foliage, Fern & Flora
• Color Palette: Basic White, Pecan Pie, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Timid Tiger, Pumpkin Pie (those last 3 are for the pumpkins)
• Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Painted Pumpkins dies and masks, Painted Patch DSP, Linen Thread, Blending Brushes, Blender Pen, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I stamped a heap of pumpkins to color, die cut, and use on projects. It makes it so easy to create as they’re almost like embellishments. I stamped the Sweet Foliage image with Crushed Curry and used the Blender Pen to add a little extra color to some of the leaves.

I did make a Halloween card, but that sentiment is long retired.

This birthday sentiment is from Birthday Shoutout, a new – and fantastic – collection of birthday sentiments. It’s being released with the November 2026 Online Exclusives on November 3rd. Check it out!
